Mike McKenna & Slidewinder - Mike McKenna & Slidewinder (1996)

Mike McKenna, June 2010: "Slidewinder was a band that I formed back in the mid-1990s when I started playing again after a somewhat prolonged hiatus due to family circumstances. We first got together with Stevie and did a lot (mostly acoustic) concerts along Danforth in Toronto in some really small clubs We played there were sold out The first Slidewinder was together for maybe a year or so and we did a lot of travel around southern Ontario playing in small clubs and bars. met with enthusiastic crowds, mainly due to my previous work with McKenna-Mendelson Mainline. I also gave some pretty talented musicians the chance to spread their wings a little. " "In 1996 I recorded" Mike McKenna & Slidewinder "with a completely different line-up. It was a group of older and very experienced musicians that I would have worked with over the years and they helped me write an outstanding CD."
